Finding Magic in Real Ale (1996)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Merryn Dineley. Andrew S Fairbairn.

The first farmers may have grown barley to brew ale. Merryn Dineley reports Our traditional view of the Neolithic is that it was the period in which people first learned to grow cereal crops, such as barley, in order to make bread and porridge. In a recent article in British Archaeology, however, the archaeological scientist Mike Richards wrote that, on the evidence of bone analysis, meat was more important than grain in the British Neolithic diet (`First farmers with no taste for...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Cara Mosier.

From the late 17th to the mid-19th century, Native American and French communities have engaged in dynamic and extensive trade relations. Alcohol became a significant factor that was both heavily exploited and employed during these exchanges. The trade and consumption of alcohol caused a radical change in the way these two peoples interacted. By exploring patterns in the variation of alcohol use at both Native and French sites and employing ethnohistorical data from additional sites in northern...

News Item: Beer Brewing formed part of Neolithic Ceremonies (1997)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Merryn Dineley. Andrew S Fairbairn.

Beer brewing "formed part of Neolithic ceremonies" Getafix, the fictional druid in the Asterix cartoon series, whose main task was to brew a magic potion for his fellow Iron Age villagers, may have been following a centuries-old ceremonial tradition of "ritual brewing" dating from as far back as the Neolithic, according to new research. Ritual brewing, it has been claimed, may have been one of the main activities that took place at sacred Neolithic ceremonies in the 3rd...

PROJECT Uploaded by: Justin DiVirgilio

Phase III data recovery and subsequent investigations for Section 106 compliance in Albany, NY. The project focused on recovery of archaeological data from three colonial and early federal contexts. The first two were a brickyard and brickmaker's house from the 17th century. The house was built in the 1630s to lease to a brickmaker; it was burned and rebuilt in the 1650s and finally abandoned about 1686. The brickyard operated from about 1654 until the late 1680s. The third context was a rum...

Raise Your Glass to the Past: An Experimental Archaeology of Beer and Community (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Melissa Ayling. Marie Hopwood.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A pint of beer is more than a "simple" beverage. The presence of ethanol resulting from the yeast-based fermentation contributes to making beer a unique form of embodied material culture that has fermented alongside humanity since well before written records. It is the most widely used psychoactive substance in the world, and is regularly discussed in...

Rum and Archaeology: A Preliminary Report of the Excavation of the Still House on the Betty’s Hope Plantation, Antigua. (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Charlotte Goudge.

A great deal of research has been undertaken on the slave trade, sugar and the African diaspora, however, the impact of rum has garnered little attention from scholars. Rum was an important social and economic catalyst during the 17th-20th centuries, impacting all strata of society from the lowest slaves to the highest echelons of British society. During the 18th and 19th centuries rum developed from a waste product into highly desirable merchandise that was used as a social lubrication to ease...

Tavern Archaeology in Eighteenth-Century Williamsburg, Virginia (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark Kostro.

Taverns in eighteenth-century Williamsburg, Virginia ran the gamut from the refined to repugnant, from those catering to the delicate needs of politicians and colonial elites, to those offering basic room and board to road-weary travelers seeking to escape the elements. As elsewhere, Williamsburg’s varied taverns were central places within the community where people regularly gathered to transact business, argue over politics, exchanged news of the day, plot political action, or just enjoy a...

Teaching with Beer: An Archaeology of Beer in and outside of the Classroom (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Marie Hopwood.

This is an abstract from the "Raise Your Glass to the Past: An Exploration of the Archaeology of Beer" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Why study an archaeology of beer? Beyond the modern popularity of craft beer, this beverage is a deeply ancient and meaningful form of material culture. It is also a powerful tool to put faces onto the past, and to make the ancient peoples we study both relevant and enticing to our students and the larger public....

Why Bappir Matters: Using Experimental Archaeology of Beer in the Classroom (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Marie Hopwood.

This is an abstract from the "Experimental Pedagogies: Teaching through Experimental Archaeology Part 1" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As a unique category of socially charged material culture, beer has origins stretching back to people’s first obsession with wild grain. The deep time prehistory of beer coupled with the unique role of its psychoactive properties makes it a compelling bridge between academic archaeology and the public, allowing...
